Believe it or not sometimes evil people do get their comeuppance. And Bishop Eddie Long is an example of just that. Long is the biggest gay bashing preacher in this country and has been for quite some time. And now we find out that Long has been chasing young men for years.

Three lawsuits have been filed alleging that Bishop Eddie Long had sexual relations with at least three young men on several occasions over several years. They suits also claim that Long took the young men, some were teens, on trips and bought them lavish gifts.

All of this was going on while the Bentley driving, private plane flying Bishop Eddie Long was making life hell for gays and lesbians with his hate speech from the pulpit of his mega-church the New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in the Atlanta area.

So now all of those idiots in Long's mega-church know that their tithes have been going to a man who is nothing more than a alleged pedophile. Religion it seems is the perfect place for evil people to take advantage of weak people.

I hope that Bishop Eddie Long ends-up where he belongs and that is in hell with all of the other pedophiles and thieves. In the meantime it's likely his parishioners will make a way for him to stay exactly where he is, in the pulpit, and continue to give him their money like the good lemmings that they are.

Maybe Eddie Long should have been a Catholic priest, he would fit right in.

Wow! Just wow. Ever notice that the most verbal & blatant homophobes are often those w/ the most skeletons in their own closets? These allegations are very damaging & the effect of it all could be seismic, should this prove to be true.

If these young accusers have proof, i.e.: receipts, taped conversations or accurate descriptions of his private regions, then that would add to their credibility. Until then... I guess the jury is still out.

I live in atl..and have lived down the street from both churches. I can say that I used to go to newbirht in 93..in the 9th grade! He had changed and I wasn't feeling it anymore. Don't get me wrong, he had a powerful message and I know GOD used him and still does, just as God will and has used anything (the rocks will cry out). Most of my friends are new birth attendees and they are outragaed. As I say, never get so caught up in the messenger that you forget the message! I pray for the followers. The ones that feel that they have no one to trust. All they need is a reason to not go to chuch. Churches were always said to be "greedy" and always "wanting money". It took a decade of preaching about tithes to finally get over that hump and now this. I'm not shocked or surprised by the allegations. Keep the followers in prayer as well as his children!! They are victims!PS..someone I know told me that when someone starts to speak in tongues they are removed from the church stating they are disrupting service!! WOW!!!GREAT POST!!!! Of course I had to touch on it too! ;)

"As I say, never get so caught up in the messenger that you forget the message!"

So true!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this. Since you have actually been to this particular church it's nice to hear what you think.

My only problem with the people of the church is that they seemed to go along with Long's rantings on gays and lesbians. Some of which were pretty hateful and ridiculous.Even if people think a way that another lives is problematic I just don't understand the need to be mean and hateful?

And wow, I do feel bad for his children.

"someone I know told me that when someone starts to speak in tongues they are removed from the church stating they are disrupting service!!"

So the Bishop is a pedophile? After all the hate filled messages condemning gays and lesbians, it now comes out that not only is the good Bishop gay himself, but he enjoys the company of children in the bedroom.

I guess it is no surprise really. Any preacher that lives the life style he does and claims to be doing God's work is just a 'pulpit pimp' as far as I'm concerned.

But I too also feel terrible for all of his followers. They put their trust in this child molester that claims to have their best interest in mind. And obviously the only thing the Bishop cared about is the 'contributions' from church members and dipping his doodle in the children of his parishioners.

I will pray for all the 'blind' followers of the Bishop, and hope that they will all 'see' the truth which is God, and that the types of things the Bishop was doing are sinful in the eyes of the Lord.
